because fuck enchantments thats why
"another". Whatever. And it could count itself and not be insane anyway.
Frame is definitely a bit odd for Adventures. Better than Aftermath, but not that much better, and they do have the issue here where it's not obvious which comes "first."
I think the usual split frame, or even the Kamigawa block flip cards, would have worked better here. Or even one text block stacked on the other. But I guess that would make the storybook look harder to pull off.

It's the "first page" though. You start the story there, then you can go to the next page with the creature. Or skip to the end like a heathen.
Book spoilers
For the thing people probably care most about, regarding Garruk
Garruk is cured of his curse by the Holy Grail, and devotes himself to protecting Rowan and Will in gratitude.
Yeah, well when the start of the story has a CMC of 7 and just skipping to the part where Goldilocks comes home only costs one mana... well, it's not a great book I guess!
In general I agree, but in that case the "first page" should clearly be primary on the card and the creature half should be the smaller part. But of course creatures take up a lot more real estate with subtypes and P/T and all that... so there's no perfect fit.
Eh why not. They
never did anything interesting with his being cursed anyway
It's the last line on a card that looks like an enchantment, reads like an enchantment, has a name + photo that seems like an enchantment, etc.
"Read the card" makes it obvious, of course, but it's not the best design.
ELD - Heraldic Banner; Garruk, Cursed Huntsman

Says MaRo. The fact that Enchantments don't tap is one of the few things separating artifacts and enchantments, mechanically.
ELD - Food tokens
OP

Album, not translated, has Food tokens
The food is well drawn but looks disgusting. So, appropriate.

ELD - The Royal Scions
This color scheme frame combination just looks insane.
WOW. This is going to looks incredible as a foil or better yet a playmat
OP

Killing Fire - 2R
Instant
Deal 3 damage to any target. If you paid 3 or more red mana to cast this spell, it deals 4 damage to that target instead.
Pie Wrap - 2BB
Instant
Destroy target creature. Create a food token.
Beanstalk Giant - 6G
Creature - Giant
Beanstalk Giant's Power & Toughness are equal to the number of lands you control.
(Fertile Footprint - Sorcery - Adventure - 2G)
Search your library for a basic land, put it on to the battlefield, then shuffle your library.
Holy Knight of Embereth - 3R
Creature - Human Knight
Haste
If you paid 3 or more red mana to cast Holy Knight of Embereth, it enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it.
4/1.
Silver Flame Ritual - 3W
Sorcery
Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
If you paid 3 or more white mana to cast Silver Flame Ritual, creatures you control gain vigilance until end of turn.
I would like this to be good. Curves well from the 2/2 haste elemental or dreadhorde arcanistUnconfirmed leak which is most likely legit
None of these cards so far have been exciting. Hoping we see some soon.
ELD - Brawl cards on Arena
OP
OP
It looks like the cards appearing in Brawl decks are already on Arena.
The trailer premiered in a stream, and I'll post it when it's on YouTube.
EDIT: Brawl deck event on Arena right now.

Loving the spoilers so far - tons of really great flavor. I'm pretty godawful at evaluating cards, but Adventures essentially being card - neutral sorceries seems strong ish on the face of it, cost permitting.
The "Mana type matters" cards make a lot of sense in light of an oncoming Theros set.

I'm very happy with all of this.
Card is confirmed legit by maro saying "the royal scions" was in the set and is a PW card for both will and rowan. Legit leak.Unconfirmed leak which is most likely legit
man cant zendikar stay unrisen for a while longer please
early favorite card of the set for sure
Rat tribal anyone?
It's disappointing that Dominaria was such a predictably well received block... and instead more Zendikar. I was around for the first time, which was me playing Magic after a long hiatus, and it was fine (Jace bullshit aside). It was fine. I know they went back a second time. Now a third? I know development's done far in advance, thus why I note Dominaria being a smash success was so obvious.
I also prefer parking in a setting for the prior method of three full sets, because the decks feel less haphazard and more like they belong to a moment in time (e.g., "the ____ standard format"), but this is probably seen as an old man rant.

WotC wants to redeem the Zendikar setting after fucking up so bad last time.

Jeez, these past two days are really wreaking havoc on the thread per set paradigm.

Didn't know it was considered a fuck up. Would still rather move on then keep revisiting, but that makes sense as a reason to try again.

I don't follow the plot but Garruk just ate that totally alive and sentient gingerbread guy in front of his wife. That's evil as fuck imo.
